Better  by  far  you  should  forget  and  smile. 
Than  that  you  should  remember  and  be  sad.

ease  alone 

Talk  out  their  hearts;  yet  still 
Between  the  grace  notes  of 
The  voice  of  love 
From  each  to  each 
Trembles  a  rarer  speech 
And  with  its  presence  every  pause 
doth  fill.

Individuals 

People  who  need  people  constitute  Abingdon  High 
School.  Administration,  faculty,  custodians,  cafeteria 
staff,  student  teachers,  substitute  teachers,  bus  drivers, 
students --all  of  these  people  work  to  make  Abingdon  High 
School  what  it  is  today.  In  the  fifteen  years  of  the  exis¬ 
tence  of  Abingdon  High  School,  individuals  have  contri¬ 
buted  in  a  unique  way  to  create  a  time  to  remember. 

1.  Beula  Price  introduces  acts  during  the  teacher  talent  show.  2.  Mr. 

Reedy  says  "Pet  Milk  makes  me  happy,  "  while  Mrs.  Reedy  tries  some.  3. 
Abingdon  fans  anxiously  watch  a  football  game.  4.  Mrs.  Jane  Moore  sings 
a  song  during  the  teacher  talent  show.  5.  "Grandpa"  Rutledge  and  "Grand¬ 
ma"  Wallace  entertain  themselves  during  the  teacher  talent  show.

Veteran  Educator 
Retires  With  Honors 

One  of  the  most  difficult  jobs  found 
anywhere  is  definitely  that  of  county 
school  superintendent.  However,  for 
the  last  twenty  years  in  Washington 
County,  we  have  been  fortunate  to  have 
one  of  the  most  dedicated  men  in  the 
profession.  Dr.  E.B.  Stanley  retired 
with  honors  after  serving  tirelessly  in 
what  he  termed  "a  rewarding  experi¬ 
ence".  He  held  many  positions  of  honor 
in  educational  organizations,  and  was 
active  in  his  church  and  community. 

Dr.  Stanley  was  honored  by  his  as¬ 
sociates  in  the  educational  field  with  a 
reception  at  Martha  Washington  Inn. 
Although  replaced  by  a  very  able  man. 

Dr.  Stanley  has  left  his  permanent 
influence  on  Washington  County.

Dr.  B.  G.  Raines  — 
New  Superintendent 

The  School  Board  operated  under 
new  leadership  when  Dr.  B.  G.  Raines 
became  Acting  Superintendent  of  Wash¬ 
ington  County  Schools  in  January.  Dr. 
Raines  had  recently  finished  compiling 
a  detailed  policy  manual  of  the  state 
education  requirements  as  applicable  to 
Washington  County  while  he  was  As¬ 
sistant  Superintendent.  As  representa¬ 
tives  of  the  districts  in  which  students 
of  the  Washington  County  School  system 
live,  the  School  Board  was  the  common 
link  between  all  the  schools.  Meetings 
of  all  high  school  principals  with  the 
School  Board  were  held  to  allow  the 
schools  to  voice  specific  problems  and 
needs.  As  the  governing  body  of  Wash¬ 
ington  County  Schools,  the  School  Board 
supervised  policies,  appropriations, 
and  personnel  guidelines  which,  directly 
or  indirectly,  affected  faculty  and  stu¬ 
dents.

Principals  Give 
Guidance  at  A.H.S. 

Two  familiar  faces  at  A.  H.  S.  were 
those  of  the  school's  leaders:  Mr.  Aubrey 
Brown,  principal,  and  Mr.  V.  T.  Rector, 
assistant  principal.  Not  only  did  Mr. 

Brown  supervise  the  school  as  a  whole, 
but  he  always  showed  a  friendly  willing¬ 
ness  to  deal  with  students  and  teachers 
on  an  individual  basis.  The  intercom  of¬ 
ten  boasted  Mr.  Brown  warmly  com¬ 
mending  an  individual’s  accomplishment. 
The  responsibilities  of  Mr.  Rector  con¬ 
cerning  the  maintenance  of  buildings  and 
grounds,  textbook  rental,  student  traffic 
control,  and  scholastic  curriculum,  were 
managed  with  competent  leadership  and 
reputable  dedication.  The  student  body 
and  faculty  responded  to  the  school’s 
principals  with  a  respectful  admiration 
due  leaders  of  such  loyal  and  inexhaustible 
devotion. 


Mr.  Rector  and  Mr.  Brown  pause  a  moment  in  the  hall.

Secretaries  Aid 
Students,  Faculty 

Mrs.  Shirley  Landreth,  school  trea¬ 
surer  and  bookkeeper  for  all  clubs  and 
classes,  efficiently  served  as  Mr. 
Brown's  secretary  in  all  administrative 
matters.  Mrs.  Peggy  Hughes,  a  new 
face  in  the  main  office,  was  always 
busy  attending  to  countless  business 
matters  including  student  insurance  and 
bus  driver  reports,  but  never  too  busy 
to  greet  students  and  teachers  with  a 
smile.  Mrs.  Euva  Sutherland  and  Mrs. 
Barbara  Lucy  were  in  close  contact  with 
the  students  in  the  attendance  office, 
issuing  absentee  and  tardy  excuses. 

1.  Mrs.  Lucy  and  Mrs.  Sutherland  prepare  attend¬ 
ance  reports.  2.  Mrs.  Hughes  types  a  bus  driver  re¬

Faculty  Forms  Car 
Pools  During  Crisis 

Many  things  never  mentioned  before 
have  happened  this  year  to  the  faculty. 

The  male  faculty  in  keeping  with  tradition, 
engaged  in  wagers  concerning  the  pro¬ 
gress  of  their  newly-grown  mustaches. 
During  third  period  one  day,  two  teachers 
were  found  viciously  stuffing  trash  into 
another  teacher’s  box,  while  a  male 
teacher  was  listed  on  the  roster  of  Miss 
Washington  County  contestants.  At  fac¬ 
ulty  meetings  the  men  never  sat  with  the 
women --never.  So,  teachers  are  more 
like  students  than  either  might  permit 
themselves  to  think!

Faculty 

The  selection  of  appropriate  courses  at 
Abingdon  High  School  provoked  thought  and  de¬ 
cision.  Our  faculty  was  competent  and  highly 
qualified  for  each  position  at  Abingdon  High 
School.  For  example,  teachers  were  involved 
in  courses  from  eighth  grade  level  math  to 
college  math,  and  from  earth  science  to  phys¬ 
ics.  In  addition  to  performing  their  assigned 
duties,  teachers  also  offered  their  understand¬ 
ing  and  friendship.  Unknown  to  many  students, 
teachers  performed  outside  duties  that  related 
to  school -chaperoned  dances,  sold  tickets  at 
ball  games,  and  rode  buses  to  school -spon¬ 
sored  activities.  Like  all  people,  teachers  had 
good  days  and  bad,  but  time  spent  at  Abingdon 
High  School  will  be  a  time  to  remember.

question  did  not  have  to  be  answered. 

A.  H.S.  began  the  year  with  an  enthu¬ 
siastic  faculty,  dedicated  to  their  pro¬ 
fession,  trained  for  their  various  field, 
yet  concerned  with  all  phases  of  school. 
They  exhibited  heartfelt  interest  in  the 
individual  needs  of  their  students,  dis¬ 
playing  at  all  times  the  many  fine  qual¬

ers  possible.

Come  to  Abingdon 

Student  teachers  and  new  teachers 
made  the  1974  school  year  an  exciting 
one.  Janitors  and  bus  drivers  also  made 
1974  a  successful  year.  A  group  of  stu¬ 
dent  teachers  from  neighboring  col¬ 
leges  came  each  semester  to  share 
their  knowledge  and  learn  at  the  same 
time.  Each  person  gained  some  insight 
of  humanity  during  time  spent  at  A.H.S, 

1.  Student  Teachers:  Brenda  Vestal,  Betty

Seniors  Come  to  Time  to  Prepare  New  Goals 


We  found  a  beginning  five 
years  ago  when  the  doors  of 
A.  H.S.  were  opened  to  us.  We 
took  more  pride  in  our  school  as 
one  year  built  upon  another.  We 
strove  for  one  goal --to  be  grad¬ 
uates  of  A.  H.S.  We  felt  small 
during  this  time  of  preparing  to 
go  our  individual  ways.  When  we 
ordered  our  caps  and  gowns,  we 
became  more  aware  than  ever  be- 
before  that  we,  the  Class  of  ’74, 
had  reached  our  goal  of  five 
years.  It  was  time  to  make  our 
new  goals,  our  own  new  begin¬ 
ning.

It’s  a  New  World 
in  Eighth  Grade 

It  was  a  brand  new  world --strange 
faces,  unfamiliar  halls,  new  class¬ 
rooms.  It  was  a  world  of  sharing  lock¬ 
ers,  meeting  six  new  teachers,  and 
not-so-easily  getting  to  classes  on  time. 
It  was  a  world  of  discovery  -  bigger 
ideas,  new  responsibilities,  added  priv¬ 
ileges,  (and  the  opposite  sex).  It  was  a 
world  of  learning  new  ways  to  think,  to 
act,  and  to  change.  It  was  a  world  of 
finding  our  answers  -  through  books, 
friends,  and  experiences.  It  was  a 
world  of  both  work  and  fun  -  there  were 
pep  rallies,  ball  games,  and  dances.  It 
was  a  world  of  anticipation  and  fulfilled 
dreams.  It  was  a  world  we  created  for 
ourselves  and  a  world  we  will  always 
remember  as  the  first  of  five  promising 
years  at  A.  H.  S. 


Eighth  grade  class  officers:  Philip  Bradley,  Pres.,  John  Briscoe,  Sec.,

Number  Four  on 
A.H.S.  Totempole 

Returning  to  A.  H.  S.  is  very  different 
from  walking  in  for  the  first  time.  Not  on¬ 
ly  that,  we  found  ourselves  with  a  name 
this  year  -  freshman,  not  just  ninth  grade. 
The  year  was  one  of  many  new  experi¬ 
ences,  and  much  intellectual  growth  as 
well  as  social  growth.  Medical  self-help 
came  to  the  rescue  of  those  of  us  who  are 
still  rather  clumsy.  It  was  great  being 
able  to  look  down  on  somebody  after  last 
year.  But  what  it  was  like  to  be  at  the  bot¬ 
tom  of  the  A.H.S.  totempole.  Yes, 

A.H.S.  has  a  totempole  of  many  different 
faces.  We’re  working  our  way  up- -to  the 
top  in  '77!

Driver’s  Training 
Provides  Menaces 

Who's  afraid  of  the  Sophomore  class? 
Being  the  "in-betweeners"  this  year  meant 
one  of  two  things --at  mid-term  we  were 
either  half  finished  with  our  high  school 
days,  or  half  begun.  We  still  ran  from  the 
juniors  and  seniors,  but  we  kept  the  eighth 
and  ninth  graders  on  their  toes!  We  en¬ 
joyed  our  last  year  of  being  physically  fit 
and  our  first  whiffs  of  formaldehyde  in 
biology.  Athletics  played  a  bigger  part  in 
our  lives  than  ever  before.  We  enjoyed 
the  year  because  it  brought  us  closer  to¬ 
gether  in  many  ways --as  the  Spirited 
Class  of  ’76.

Juniors’  Year 
Climaxed  by  Prom 

Easy  being  a  junior?  We  found  our¬ 
selves  swamped  with  tootsie  rolls  and 
Reese  cups,  as  we  worked  for  a  better 
prom  than  ever  before.  Our  brains  were 
filled  with  important  dates  in  U. S.  His¬ 
tory  and  our  pencils  became  dull  solving 
algebraic  equations.  From  a  normal 
schoolday  to  a  "Roman  Holiday"  our  junior 
year  was  a  time  to  remember.

Honor  Society  Taps 
Deserving  Juniors 

Aquamarine,  white  spinel,  white 
gold --this  year  we  were  faced  with  the 
difficult  decision  of  choosing  a  class  ring. 
It  was  an  important  day  to  us;  it  repre¬ 
sented  eleven  years  of  hard  work.  This 
year,  we  were  rewarded  for  our  academic 
achievement.  Early  in  spring,  some 
members  of  our  class  were  tapped  into 
the  National  Honor  Society.  This  meant 
we  had  excelled  in  scholarship,  leader¬ 
ship,  service,  and  character.  Each  activ¬ 
ity  made  our  junior  year  special  but  we  all 
eagerly  anticipated  our  remaining  year.

A  Time  To  Remember 

Athletics 

A  sense  of  pride,  a  feeling  of  achieve¬ 
ment,  a  desire  for  recognition  -  these  are 
some  reasons  Falcon  athletes  accom¬ 
plished  high  goals.  A.H.S.  offered  a  great 
variety  of  sports.  Girls  were  offered 
interscholastic  sports  in  golf,  tennis, 
track,  basketball,  and  volleyball,  but  in¬

Determination  Gives 
Successful  Season 

The  first  kickoff,  an  action -filled  game, 
the  final  seconds --all  these  were  moments 
the  Varsity  football  team  had  been  waiting 
for.  The  team  proved  to  themselves  that  all 
their  determination  had  paid  off,  as  the  sea¬ 
son  ended  with  a  6-4  record.  Coaches 
Berkley  Clear,  Curtis  Burkett,  and  Bob 
Buchanan  directed  the  development  of  the 
team,  while  head  coach  Larry  Bales  super¬ 
vised  the  whole  effort.  Lewis  Harris  and 
Doc  Wilson  earned  a  position  on  both  the 
Southwest  District  team  and  the  Big  Six 
team.  Mike  Gregory  also  earned  a  position 
on  the  Big  Six  team.  Every  coach,  manager 
and  team  member  gave  of  individual  effort 
to  provide  himself  and  the  school  an  added 
amount  of  Falcon  pride.

The  Junior  Varsity  football  team  had 
an  outstanding  season  this  year,  and  set  a 
new  school  win-loss  record  for  J.V. 
teams  with  5  wins,  2  losses,  and  1  tie. 
This  was  by  far  the  best  J.  V.  record  since 
Abingdon  has  participated  in  the  tough 
Southwest  District.  What  made  it  espe¬ 
cially  impressive  was  the  remarkable  fact 
that  22  of  the  30  players  were  from  the 
freshman  class.  After  a  slow  start  against 
Patrick  Henry,  the  Little  Blue  came  back 
the  next  week  to  revenge  the  loss.  The 
Junior  Falcons  then  remained  undefeated 
throughout  the  season  until  meeting  always 
powerful  Gate  City  in  the  final  game  of  the 
season.  Under  the  able  leadership  of 
Coaches  Karl  Reedy,  Gail  Rutledge,  and 
Mike  Lethcoe,  the  Junior  Falcons  put  in 
long  hours  of  hard  work  and  practice.  A 
desire  to  win  and  Falcon  pride  made  the 
season  what  it  was.  Determination  to  im¬ 
prove  next  year,  as  they  move  up  to  var¬ 
sity,  gave  us  hope  of  great  things  to  come.

Eighth  Grade  Team 
Earns  Recognition 


Remember  that  eighth  grade  football 
team?  They  started  their  ambitious  high 
school  careers  ready  and  willing  to  learn. 
Like  all  teams,  they  put  in  long  hard  hours 
of  determined  practice.  Led  by  Eddie  Ar¬ 
nold  with  26  points  for  the  season  the  eighth 
grade  team  went  on  to  obtain  a  3-3  season. 
Other  leading  scorers  were  Charlie  Jordan 
with  6,  Jeff  McCray  with  10,  and  Sam  McKin¬ 
ney  with  12.  The  team  was  fortunate  to  have 
the  able  leadership  provided  by  Gail  Rut¬ 
ledge.  They  will  always  remember  their 
first  season  at  A.  H.S.  with  pride.

Basketball  Team 
Led  by  Seniors 

The  Varsity  Basketball  team 
moved  forward  this  season  with 
guiding  influence  of  the  Senior  mem¬ 
bers  of  the  team,  Chitwood,  Wright, 
Cole,  Thompson,  Belcher  and  Mathe¬ 
son.  Although  the  scoreboard  didn't  al¬ 
ways  show  a  victory,  the  team  them¬ 
selves  experienced  their  own  personal 
moments  of  victory.  For  the  first 
time  in  the  school's  history  Abingdon 
was  a  member  of  the  Big  Six,  thus 
giving  them  a  berth  in  the  tournament. 
Another  first  was  the  time  change. 

Due  to  the  energy  crisis  all  games 
were  played  one -half  hour  later. 
Coaches  Bishop  and  Buchanan  gave 
their  time  and  talent  to  inspire  the 
team  throughout  the  season.

membered.  They  worked  tirelessly  im¬ 
proving  their  skills  and  learning  new 
techniques.  Coach  Rutledge  instilled  in

their  aim.

/  I 

Two  of  the  first  groups  in  the 
nation  to  feel  the  pinch  of  the 
energy  crisis  were  our  own  eighth 
and  ninth  grade  basketball  teams. 
Games  were  cut  to  a  minimum, 
but  practice  went  on  as  usual. 
Spirit  remained  high  and  finally 
soared  early  togetherness  prob¬ 
lems  to  end  the  season  with  a  five 
win  and  four  loss  record. 

The  ninth  grade  team  was  in¬ 
corporated  into  the  Junior  Varsity 
team  this  year  but  did  get  to  play 
four  games  of  their  own.  Their 
record  was  two  wins  and  two  loss¬ 
es.

District  Record  Set 
by  Gale  Thompson 

Hours  of  grueling  practice  made  the 
Falcon  track  team  what  it  was.  Under  the 
capable  coaching  of  Gail  Rutledge,  Curtis 
Burkett,  and  Berkley  Clear,  the  Falcons 
soared  to  great  success.  Senior  Gale 
Thompson  led  the  team  by  breaking  the 
school  and  district  record  in  the  two-mile 
run  with  a  9:53.  0  time.  The  track  team  ran 
in  large  meets  such  as  the  Radford  Invita¬ 
tional  the  Abingdon  Relays,  and  the  first 
annual  Big  Six  meet.  Each  team  member 
was  given  the  chance  to  score  points  for 
himself  and  the  team,  thus  having  a  reward 
for  the  hard  practices  and  training.

Baseball  Team 


Plays  in  Regionals 

Coaches  Bishop  and  Buchanan 
and  the  Falcon  men  proved  to  be 
an  outstanding  baseball  team. 

Led  by  three  amazing  pitchers, 

John  Hannah,  Jimmy  Keyser,  and 
Danny  Wilson,  the  Falcons  soared 
to  great  heights.  Wins  and  losses 
by  a  margin  of  one  continued  to 
plague  the  team  throughout  the 
season.  Defense  seemed  to  be 
the  strong  point  while  batting 
chores  proved  most  difficult.

Spirit  Runs  High 
in  J.  V.  Baseball 

The  J.  V.  baseball  team  finished  the 
season  with  a  two  win  -  two  loss  record. 
The  team  was  made  up  of  twenty -five 
hardworking  members  from  the  eighth 
and  ninth  grades.  The  spirit  and  deter¬ 
mination  of  these  young  men  remained 
high  over  the  long  season  despite  only 
four  games  being  played.  Mark  Hum¬ 
phreys  and  Jeff  McCray  held  down  the 
pitching  duties  for  the  Baby  Falcons  and 
Denny  Farmer,  Roy  Griffith,  David  Har¬ 
less  and  others  had  good  turns  at  bat.

Tennis  Team 
Makes  Year  of 
Improvement 

The  Falcon  tennis  team,  in 
only  its  second  year  of  competi¬ 
tion,  played  many  close  and  ex¬ 
citing  matches.  The  team  had 
made  steady  improvement  over 
the  past  year  as  a  result  of  the 
individual  hard  work  of  the  team 
members.  With  the  experience 
now  obtained  by  the  players,  the 
future  of  tennis  looks  bright  in 
Falconland.

County  Tournament 
Won  by  Golfers 

Who  will  be  low  man  for  the  Falcon 
golfers  this  week?  This  was  a  familiar 
question  asked  among  the  golfers  this 
year,  with  each  golfer  hoping  to  be  able 
to  say,  "I  was  low  man  for  the  Fal¬ 
cons.  "  Coach  Bales  and  the  Abingdon 
golfers  had  a  very  successful  season. 
They  worked  tirelessly  to  earn  the  title 
of  Number-One  in  the  Washington  Coun¬ 
ty  Tournament.  Members  of  the  Golf 
team  include  Don  Holtsinger,  Mark 
Seamon,  Rick  Ornduff,  Teresa  Cunning¬ 
ham,  Steve  Holbrook,  Barry  Matheson, 
Randy  Cole,  Karl  Lorenz,  and  Kurt 
Lorenz. 

The  golf  course  soon  became  the 
golfers  second  home  as  they  worked  at 
the  course  long  hours  and  windy  after¬ 
noons.  But  this  made  them  proud  of 
their  team.

New  Girls’  Sport 
Introduced  at  A.H.S. 


The  girls  of  Abingdon  High  School  took 
another  step  forward  this  year  in  athletics. 
For  the  first  time,  the  girls  participated 
in  tennis.  Under  the  direction  of  Mrs. 

Jean  Matheson,  the  girls  worked  long, 
hard  hours.  Even  though  they  did  not  have 
a  winning  season,  their  matches 
taught  them  many  lessons  and  provided 
them  with  many  valuable  experiences. 
Those  girls  putting  their  tennis  skills  to 
work  were  Gail  Johnson,  Tracey  Sweet, 
Lynn  Snyder,  Sally  Pinkerton,  Linda 
Bartlett,  Elaine  Bradley,  and  Connie 
Martin.  The  best  of  luck  goes  to  the 
girls'  tennis  team  in  the  future. 

1.  Tracey  Sweet  anticipates  the  opponent's  serve. 

2.  Members  of  the  team  include:  Front  Row:  Linda

Bus  rides  with  opposing 
teams  in  the  county  and  ear¬ 
ly  practices  were  some  of 
the  drawbacks  to  being  a  vol¬ 
leyball  team  member.  The 
members  sacrificed  their 
time  and  energy  to  make  the 
team  a  success.  They  pre¬ 
sented  the  school  with  the 
first  runner-up  trophy  for 
district  competition.  Guid¬ 
ing  influence  was  provided 
by  Miss  Crenshaw.

Girls’  Relay  Teams 
Compete  in  Regionals 

"Break  that  record",  a  dream,  a 
hope  and  sometimes  an  accomplishment 
set  by  this  years  girls  track  team  at 
A.H.S.  The  team  was  made  up  of  able 
and  willing  girls  who  competed  with 
other  schools  in  the  county.  Often  the 
girls  were  seen  struggling  through  prac¬ 
tice  on  an  early  Saturday  morning  learn¬ 
ing  to  listen  how  to  run.  Sometimes 
there  were  many  complications  and 
struggles  but  the  team's  spirit  remained 
high.  They  put  in  long  hours  of  practice 
and  hard  work  to  accomplish  that  dream. 

1.  Audrey  Mills  attempts  to  put  the  Falcons  in  the

Eight  O’Clock  Comes  Early  for  Intramural 


Athletes 

Basketball,  shuffleboard,  ping  pong, 
badminton  --  these  were  just  a  few  of 
the  sports  in  the  Abingdon  High  School 
intramurals  program.  Intramurals 
were  provided  for  those  girls  who  did 
not  compete  interscholastically  and,  of 
course,  those  who  did.  To  take  part  in 
intramurals  meant  being  ready  to  play 
at  eight  o'clock,  but  it  also  meant  learn 
ing  the  valuable  lesson  of  sportsman¬ 
ship  and  the  excitement  of  competition.

Girls  Basketball  Team  Formed  for  First  Season 


Girls’  sports  took  on  a  new 
dimension  this  year  at  A.H.S.  A 
basketball  team  was  formed,  and 
competed  interscholastically. 

The  girls,  coached  by  Miss  Wal¬ 
lace  and  Mr.  Gregory,  practiced 
long  hard  hours.  But  all  the  de¬ 
termination  paid  off  as  the  team 
ended  its  first  regular  season 
with  a  5-6  record.  In  the  district 
tournament  the  team  won  over 
Patrick  Henry  before  losing  to 
Marion.

A  Time  to  Remember 
Classes 


Classes  for  most  students  were  very  important  at 
A.H.S.  Some  days  it  seemed  there  was  just  too  much  to 
do,  and  everyone  was  kept  very  busy  with  homework, 
plus  extracurricular  activities.  Teachers  willing  to  help 
and  students  wanting  to  achieve  high  academic  goals 
made  1974  a  time  to  remember. 

1.  Chemistry  is  a  fascinating  and  sometimes  an  "exploding"  class.  2.  A 
science  class  examines  a  flying  saucer.  3.  The  band  marches  at  halftime. 
4.  Cindy  Harris  marches  in  a  parade.  5.  David  Price  observes  a  chemistry 
experiment.

Students  Display 
Athletic  Abilities 

Physical  Education 

"All  right!  Count  off!"  These  im¬ 
mortal  words  will  be  remembered  by 
many  a  student  long  after  they  have 
completed  their  physical  education  re¬ 
quirements.  The  varied  program  of¬ 
fered  an  opportunity  for  students  to 
participate  in  many  different  kinds  of 
athletics,  from  speedball  to  trampo¬ 
line.  Eighth  and  ninth  grade  students 
learned  practical  health  and  first  aid 
skills  in  the  classroom,  while  tenth 
graders  studied  safe  driving  techniques 
and  prepared  to  earn  their  drivers' 
licenses.

Shakespeare  Is 
Explored  in  Depth 

English  can  be  fun!  Many  students  found 
this  to  be  true  as  they  took  the  required 
course.  Inventive  teachers  turned  the  chore 
of  learning  grammar  into  a  pleasurable 
task  by  making  such  assignments  as  cre¬ 
ative  writing  or  skits.  For  the  first  time, 
upperclassmen  had  the  option  of  taking 
regular  English  or  a  course  which  covered 
the  subject  in  more  depth.  Younger  stu¬ 
dents  studied  basic  grammar  and  punctua¬ 
tion,  while  older  students  concentrated  on 
such  things  as  American  literature  or 
Shakespearean  drama,  as  well  as  term 
papers.

123 


Mixing  Enjoyment 
With  Learning 

Foreign  Language 

In  the  foreign  language  department, 
students  became  familiar  not  only  with  a 
language,  but  also  with  the  culture  and 
customs  of  the  particular  country  in  which 
the  language  is  spoken.  The  languages  of¬ 
fered  were  French,  Spanish,  and  Latin. 
French  students  learned  popular  French 
songs  and  performed  them,  while  Spanish 
students  studied  bullfighting  and  saw  relat¬ 
ed  slides.  Latin  students  illustrated 
popular  Latin  phrases  and  put  them  up  for 
display.  This  also  improved  their  vocabu¬ 
lary. 


1.  Jennie  Placak  and  Jeff  Rasnick  discuss  an  exercise  in 
Spanish.  2.  Sally  Hill  dramatizes  a  Spanish  dialogue 
about  a  girl  wearing  false  eyelashes  for  a  job  interview. 

3.  Debbie  Peters  reads  a  story  in  French  about  the  future.

ener  adds  figures  quickly  for  speed  practice. 


Typing  Develops 
Nimble  Fingers 

Business  Education 

Typing  comes  to  mind  when  one  thinks 
of  business,  but  this  was  only  one  area  of 
the  business  education  courses  offered  at 
A.H.S.  Students  had  an  opportunity  to 
learn  practical  office  skills,  such  as  fil¬ 
ing  and  bookkeeping.  Many  who  were  not 
going  into  business  took  shorthand  or  ty¬ 
ping  for  their  own  personal  use.  Typing 
was  a  very  popular  course,  though  many 
beginners  had  a  hard  time  at  first  trying 
to  coordinate  their  fingers. 


125 


Physics  Students 
Become  Film  Stars 

Science 

Science  was  definitely  one  of  the 
most  interesting  courses  at  A.H.S.  In 
the  various  classes,  students  became 
familiar  with  the  physical  world. 

Eighth  and  ninth  graders  took  general 
science  courses,  which  prepared  them 
for  the  more  advanced  biology,  chemis¬ 
try,  and  physics  classes.  Biology  stu¬ 
dents  discovered  that  disection  was  not 
as  bad  as  they  had  been  led  to  believe. 
Those  taking  chemistry  found  it  quite 
challenging,  but  enjoyed  blowing  up 
hydrogen-filled  test  tubes.  Physics 
students  took  on  the  large  project  of 
making  a  video-tape  on  the  life  of 
Copernicus. 

1.  Herbie  Ellis  examines  mirco-organisms  through 
the  miscroscope  in  biology.  2.  Chris  Placak  per¬ 
forms  in  the  film  produced  by  the  physics  class.

Seniors  Challenged 
by  College  Work 

Mathematics 

Many  students  at  A.H.So  found  the 
various  math  courses  to  be  challenging 
and  stimulating.  First  year  algebra 
students  were  given  a  good  background 
in  practical  math,  while  advanced  math 
students  were  introduced  to  calculus. 
Geometry  and  analysis  students  be¬ 
came  familiar  with  many  new  concepts. 
Several  students  participated  in  various 
math  contests  and  fared  extremely  well. 

1.  Mrs.  Lineberry  helps  John  Hannah  to  see  the 
light  on  a  problem  in  advanced  math.  2.  Susan

Practical  Skills 
Put  Into  Practice 

Home  Economics 

The  home  economics  courses  at  A.H.S. 
covered  all  areas  of  study  that  one  could 
wish  for.  First  year  students  learned  the 
relatively  simple  arts  of  cooking  and  sew¬ 
ing,  while  the  more  advanced  students  had 
instruction  in  home  management,  marriage 
and  the  family.  All  students  gained  practical 
experience  in  homemaking  and  are  now  more 
prepared  for  their  future  roles  in  life.  They 
soon  realized  that  patience  and  skill  are 
necessary  for  one  to  become  a  successful 
homemaker. 


129 


Free  Time  to  Work, 
Study,  or  Relax 

Study  Hall 

Most  students  looked  forward  to 
their  free  periods  more  than  any  other 
class.  For  those  who  had  a  full  sched¬ 
ule,  study  hall  was  a  refreshing 
break.  Students  had  an  opportunity  to 
catch  up  on  homework  or  enjoy  the 
current  best-seller.  Seniors  were 
allowed  to  have  unsuperyised  senior 
study  in  the  cafeteria  as  a  senior  priv¬ 
ilege.  This  gave  them  a  chance  to 
study,  work  on  term  papers,  or  shar¬ 
pen  up  their  bridge  skills. 

1.  Mary  Gentry,  Becky  Kiser,  Lynn  Kilbourne,  and 
Mary  Lambert  relax  during  senior  study.  2.  John

Students  Exposed 
to  Business  World 

Distributive  Education 

Through  distributive  education,  up¬ 
perclassmen  were  able  to  get  a  head¬ 
start  in  the  business  world.  First  year 
students  learned  business  techniques 
and  third  year  students  attended  classes 
in  the  mornings  and  worked  in  the  af¬ 
ternoons.  Local  businessmen  cooper¬ 
ated  in  this  endeavor,  and  many  stu¬ 
dents  could  be  observed  working  in  lo¬ 
cal  business  establishments.  Several 
students  entered  county -wide  contests

Many  students  found  participation  in 
one  or  more  of  the  arts  to  be  an  enrich¬ 
ing  experience,  providing  much  enjoy¬ 
ment  and  satisfaction.  Students  found  an 
outlet  for  their  creative  talents  in  band, 
chorus,  or  art.  Some  students  rose  to 
positions  of  honor.  Lewis  Harris  was

Exploring  the 
Past  and  Present 

Social  Studies 

The  social  studies  programs  offered 
at  A.  H.  S.  were  numerous  and  students 
could  choose  among  history,  geography, 
government,  sociology,  and  humanities. 
Government  students  learned  princi¬ 
ples  and  practices  of  American  govern¬ 
ment  and  discussed  the  history  of 
Washington  County.  The  humanities 
class  was  larger  than  ever,  and  stu¬ 
dents  chose  their  areas  of  study,  such 
as  handicrafts.  The  sociology  class 
staged  a  mock  wedding,  which  was 
carefully  planned  and  performed  true- 
to-life.

Learning  a  Trade 
Before  Graduation 

Vocational 

Has  the  bus  left  yet?  Each  day 
several  Abingdon  High  School  students 
attended  the  vocational  or  trade 
school.  There  they  had  a  chance  to 
learn  modern  technical  skills  while 
continuing  their  high  school  educa¬ 
tion.  Students  had  a  wide  variety  of 
classes  to  choose  from  including  auto 
body  repair,  practical  nursing,  home 
economics,  cosmetology,  masonry, 
electricity,  and  several  others.  They 
were  able  to  get  practical  working 
experience  while  learning  a  trade. 

The  vocational  school  prepared  stu¬ 
dents  to  go  directly  from  high  school 
to  a  good  job.

Personal  Guidance 
Important  in  Shop 

Agriculture  and  Shop 

How  does  one  operate  a  lathe?  In  ag¬ 
riculture  and  shop  classes,  students  were 
exposed  to  such  things  as  woodworking, 
welding,  and  machinery  repair.  Courses 
such  as  Agricultural  Science  and  Mechan¬ 
ics  I  and  II  were  introductory  and  explor¬ 
atory  in  nature.  The  agricultural  science 
segment  of  the  course  related  to  urban 
and  rural  life.  Approximately  half  of  the 
course  was  devoted  to  mechanics.  The 
students  received  personal  guidance  and 
counseling  leading  to  entry  employment 
in  an  agricultural  occupation.  Agriculture 
and  shop  proved  to  be  very  useful  sub¬ 
jects.

Hothouse  Becomes 
Hotter  Than  Ever 

Horticulture 

Learning  the  methods  of  growing 
beautiful  flowers  was  a  rewarding  ad¬ 
venture  for  high  school  students.  In 
horticulture  class,  they  were  able  to 
learn  about  the  care  and  feeding  of  hot¬ 
house  plants  while  gaining  practical  ex¬ 
perience  by  growing  their  own,  which 
they  could  take  home  later.  Students 
had  a  small  setback  when  a  section  of 
the  greenhouse  burned,  but  soon  every¬ 
thing  was  back  to  normal.  Students 
watched  the  growing  process  as  tiny 
seeds  transformed  themselves  into 
lovely  blossoms.  From  time  to  time, 
the  horticulture  class  provided  groups 
with  special  floral  arrangements. 


1.  Diane  DeLapp  spends  her  hour  in  the  greenhouse 
Removing  unhealthy  plants  from  the  pots.  2.  Mike 
Montgomery  carefully  waters  the  Easter  lilies  as  one 
his  many  duties  in  horticulture  class.

A  Time  To  Remember 
Organizations 

"Due  to  the  shortage  of  gas  and  other  crucial 
materials,  there  will  be  no  dance.  "  This  year 
students  came  face  to  face  with  a  big  problem. 

Dances  were  canceled,  and  clubs  encouraged 
carpools  to  save  gas.  Despite  the  energy  crisis, 
clubs  remained  active.  Each  organization  worked 
to  receive  the  Club  of  the  Year  award,  to  give 
the  members  a  time  to  remember.

Club  Invites 
Guest  Speakers 

F.T.A. 

Because  many  students  at  A.H.S.  con¬ 
sidered  teaching  as  a  future  profession, 
there  were  many  members  in  the  organi¬ 
zation  of  the  Future  Teachers  of  America. 
They  collected  money  for  the  cancer  fund, 
sold  football  programs  at  Homecoming 
and  conducted  a  political  survey. 
Throughout  the  year,  members  assisted 
teachers  in  various  ways,  such  as  help¬ 
ing  with  book  rental.  The  F.T.A.  fre¬ 
quently  hosted  guest  speakers  who  dis¬ 
cussed  their  particular  field  of  education.

Privilege  to  Have 
Their  Own  Club 

Flame  Tri-Hi-Y 

What  a  privilege!  A  club  of  our  very- 
own  and  we  were  just  eighth  graders. 

With  the  falling  of  leaves  came  the  idea 
for  a  money  making  project.  By  raking 
leaves  we  earned  about  half  of  our  treas¬ 
ury.  A  bake  sale  proved  profitable  also. 
We  used  our  money  to  provide  Thanks¬ 
giving  and  Christmas  baskets  and  a 
Christmas  party  for  special  education 
children.  Our  money  making  projects  and 
service  projects  helped  to  "create,  main¬

Living.  "

ership  Conference.  The  projects  of  the 
club  were  financed  through  the  unified 
efforts  of  the  members  in  selling  pro¬ 
grams  and  Christmas  candles.  The  club 
prepared  Thanksgiving  and  Christmas 
baskets  for  needy  families  as  a  commu¬ 
nity-wide  project.  Once  a  month,  the

The  members  of  a  very  active  Senior 
Tri-Hi-Y  found  themselves  involved  in  a 
variety  of  activities  early  in  the  year. 
They  accumulated  funds  through  the  sale 
of  football  programs,  notebooks,  baked 
goods,  used  books  and  aluminum  cans  for 
re -cycling.  Members  organized  a  Chil¬ 
dren's  Carnival  in  the  spring  and  a  few 
members  attended  Model  General  Assem¬ 
bly  in  Richmond  in  late  April.  They  en¬ 
joyed  fellowship  at  the  district  confer¬ 
ence.  As  a  club,  they  stand  out  as  a  group 
with  high  ideals.

Talent  to  Students 

Beacon  Staff 

What  goes  into  the  making  of  a  year¬ 
book?  Any  staff  member  could  have,  and 
probably  would  have,  said  "blood,  sweat, 
and  tears.  "  Covering  the  broad  scope  of 
school-related  events  was  the  responsi¬ 
bility  of  the  staff  and  what  a  big  responsi¬ 
bility  it  was!  Wherever  there  was  ac¬ 
tion,  there  was  an  editor,  a  staff  mem¬ 
ber,  a  photographer,  or  all  three!  The 
staff  helped  support  their  undertakings 
through  a  teacher  talent  show  in  October, 
circulation  drive,  advertisements  sold 
to  local  businesses,  and  patrons  ads  sold 
at  home  basketball  games.  It  was  "blood, 
sweat  and  tears.  "

A  Time  to  Remember 
Activities 

Dances,  pep  rallies,  plays --all  these  gave  Abingdon 
High  School  an  air  of  excitement.  The  energy  crisis  lim¬ 
ited  the  number  of  dances,  so  those  we  did  have  were  spe¬ 
cial.  The  senior  play  and  one -act  play  gave  students  with 
acting  ability  the  chance  to  display  that  talent.  Each  activ¬ 
ity  gave  students  a  time  to  remember.

Homecoming  Game 
Ends  in  Victory 

The  week  of  Homecoming  is  always 
one  of  excitement  and  spirit.  Home¬ 
coming  1973  was  no  exception.  Spirit 
Week,  sponsored  by  the  cheerleaders, 
was  won  by  the  "mighty  Seniors"  al¬ 
though  competition  was  close.  The 
halls,  with  each  part  assigned  to  a  dif¬ 
ferent  class,  were  covered  with  posters 
and  balloons.  The  football  team  was 
showered  with  everything  from  pizzas 
to  cakes  to  crepe  paper.  Then,  the 
game  Friday  night  with  Richlands 
brought  more  excitement  with  a  12-8 
win  over  the  Tornados.  The  highlight

1973  Homecoming  Theme  —  Climb  Every  Mountain 


The  second  annual  Homecoming 
Parade  featured  floats  made  by  classes 
and  clubs.  It  was  followed  by  a  bonfire 
during  which  the  classes  competed  by 
cheering.  Spirit  Week  was  brought  to  a 
close  with  a  pep  rally  before  the  game. 
Later  that  night,  couples  danced  to  the 
music  of  Shadrack,  a  popular  band  for 
A.H.S.  dances.  The  cafeteria  was 
transformed  into  a  world  of  crepe  pa¬ 
per  and  footballs.  "Climb  Every  Moun¬ 
tain"  was  the  theme.

Pep  Rallies  Raise 
Spirit  at  A.H.S. 

"V-i-c -t-o-r-y!  V-i-c -t-o-r-y! " 
was  a  favorite  chant  of  Falcon  fans  this 
year.  Several  pep  rallies  were  held  to 
show  the  Falcons  that  the  student  body 
was  behind  them  all  the  way.  Two  of 
these  were  sponsored  by  the  S.C.A. 
with  all  classes  helping  to  make  them  a 
success.  The  cheerleaders  worked  hard 
to  make  up  skits  portraying  the  senior 
football  and  basketball  players.  A  pep 
band  livened  up  the  games  by  playing 
the  fight  song  during  time-outs.  Spirit 
flies  high  at  A.  H.  SI

Dawgpatch,  U.S.A. 

Amid  bales  of  hay  and  blankets, 
couples  enjoyed  themselves  at  the  Sadie 
Hawkins  Dance,  sponsored  by  the  Civ- 
inettes.  Girls  finally  got  their  chance 
and  they  made  the  most  of  it.  Costumes 
were  not  hard  to  find  -  students  wore 
worn-out  blue  jeans,  crazy  socks,  and 
a  few  extra  freckles.  Lil*  Abner,  Brian 
Smith,  and  Daisy  Mae,  Mary  Jo  John¬ 
son,  won  by  collecting  the  most  money 
in  their  jars.  Girls  led  the  guys  to  the 
Hitchin’  Post.  Sadie  Hawkins  is  a 
change  from  the  normal,  but  it  is  a 
change  most  people  like.

Seniors  Present 
“You,  the  Jury,” 

From  beginning  to  end,  "You,  the 
Jury",  a  courtroom  drama  with  the 
charge  of  murder,  captured  the  intel¬ 
lect,  as  well  as  interest,  of  the  spec¬ 
tators.  The  play  did  not  provide  char¬ 
acters  as  the  jury;  but  allowed  the 
audience  to  be  the  judge  by  a  vote  at  the 
close  of  the  play.  The  fifteen  characters 
and  many  back- stage  aids  gave  two  per¬ 
formances --for  the  student  body  and  for 
the  community.  All  the  rehearsing  and 
striving  to  achieve  realistic  characters 
resulted  in  a  memorable  occasion  for 
all.

“A”  Band  Participates  in  Governor’s  Inauguration 


From  band  festivals  to  concerts  to  foot¬ 
ball  games,  the  Senior  and  Intermediate 
bands  worked  hard  to  do  their  best.  Begin¬ 
ning  in  the  summer  with  band  camp,  the  Sen¬ 
ior  band  concentrated  on  coordinating  their 
feet  with  music.  The  band  participated  in 
many  area  parades  and  gave  four  concerts. 

It  also  cheered  the  Falcons  on  to  victory  with 
pep  bands.  The  band  was  honored  when  they 
were  invited  to  the  Governor's  Inaugural  Pa¬ 
rade  in  Richmond.  Music  varied  from  pop 
and  jazz  to  marches  and  slow- moving 
pieces  -  so  to  please  everyone. 

Both  the  Senior  band  and  Intermediate 
band,  which  consisted  of  underclassmen, 
received  superior  ratings  in  concert  festi¬ 
vals.  The  Intermediate  band  becomes  better 
every  year  as  students  improve  their  musi¬

Chorus  Sings  for 
Rotary  Frolics 

Chorus  became  a  more  prominent  ac¬ 
tivity  this  year  as  students  welcomed  a 
chance  to  release  their  "inhibitions"  by 
singing  during  seventh  period.  Several 
students  participated  in  All-Regional  Cho¬ 
rus,  and  Lewis  Harris  made  All-State 
Chorus.  One  of  the  highlights  of  the  year 
was  their  participation  in  the  Rotary  Fro¬ 
lics.  The  Abingdon  High  Chorus  joined 
with  Patrick  Henry’s  Chorus  under  the 
direction  of  Mrs.  Darner,  to  provide 
completely  enjoyable  program. 


Students  Present 
“An  American  Sunset” 

Using  three  characters  and  a  world 
of  symbolic  drama,  "The  American 
Sunset"  highlighted  depth  and  explicit 
acting  characterization.  The  play  pic¬ 
tures  America’s  social  classification 
that  often  makes  or  breaks  the  indivi¬ 
dual  -  the  way  people  often  place  im¬ 
portance  on  wealth  or  position  rather 
than  character  or  ambition.  The  play 
required  much  thought  and  imagination. 
The  title  represented  countless  people 
that  society  has  "buried  alive.  "  Per¬ 
haps  "The  American  Sunset"  could  have 
been  "The  Living  Dead.  " 


1.  Mrs.  StoneweLL,  Judy  Grantham,  snobbishly  ex¬

comes  a  victim  of  society's  injustice.

Minimum  Income 
Topic  for  Debate 

"Time!  Eight  minutes  are  up,  "  calls 
the  timekeeper  at  an  Abingdon  High  de¬ 
bate.  Both  the  affirmative  and  negative 
teams  have  an  allotted  time  in  which  to 
present  their  views  of  a  selected  topic. 
This  year  the  topic  was:  Resolved:  That 
the  federal  government  should  provide 
a  minimum  guaranteed  income.  The  team 
debated  several  area  schools  and  attended 
the  district  meet  at  Virginia  High.  The 
negative  team  represented  A0H.S.  at  the 
regional  debate  at  Christiansburg.

tic  evening  at  the  1974  Junior-Senior  Prom. 
The  band,  Midnight  Revival,  provided  mu¬ 
sic  while  couples  danced  in  the  Abingdon 
Elementary  gym.  The  gym  had  been  trans¬ 
formed  from  goals  and  brick  walls  to  Ro¬ 
man  pillars  entwined  with  ivy  and  blue 
sky.  For  many,  the  occasion  was  sad.  The 
dance  was  the  last  in  high  school  for  sen¬ 
iors.  Some  reminisced  over  old  times 
while  others  danced  in  an  unbroken  circle. 


1.  Couples  take  a  break  in  the  action  and  enjoy  the 
slower  pace.  2.  Sally  Hill,  Junior  class  president,  and 
Jim  Wilson  carry  on  a  lively  conversation  during  a  slow 
dance.  3.  Juniors  and  seniors  dance  to  the  music  of 
Midnight  Revival  at  the  Prom.  The  theme  was  Roman 
Holidays.

Senior  Banquet 
Has  New  Setting 

The  Abingdon  High  School  PTA  hosted  the 
annual  Senior  Banquet  at  Abingdon  Elemen¬ 
tary.  Seniors  enjoyed  the  buffet,  especially 
those  who  went  through  the  line  more  than 
once.  Afterwards,  the  class  history  was 
read  by  Mary  Lambert,  Elaine  Bradley,  and 
Randy  Cole.  The  class  history  recalled 
many  incidents  from  grades  one  through 
twelve  that  were  familiar  to  all.  Toasts  sa¬ 
luting  different  groups  such  as  band  mem¬ 
bers,  athletes,  and  officers  were  proposed 
by  class  members.  Students  were  given 
toasting  glasses  as  keepsakes  from  a  mem¬ 
orable  evening.

Assembly  by 
Candlelight 

With  seniors  marching  in, 
dressed  in  their  caps  and  gowns, 
the  last  assembly  of  the  1973-74 
school  year  began.  The  Class 
Poem,  while  amusing,  revived 
many  memories.  Many  seniors 
willed  their  precious  possessions 
to  underclassmen.  Senior  mono¬ 
grams  were  presented  to  fourteen 
deserving  students.  Special  enter¬ 
tainment  was  provided  by  several 
musically  talented  seniors.  Can¬ 
dlelight  provided  a  dramatic  ef¬ 
fect  during  the  seniors'  last  as¬ 
sembly.

Seniors  Practice 
for  Graduation 

Seniors,  finishing  exams  a  day  ear¬ 
lier  than  other  students,  spent  their 
free  day  practicing  for  graduation. 

Mrs.  Woolwine  directed  while  other 
teachers  attempted  to  keep  order.  Sen¬

memorize  their  seat  in  the  graduates' 
section.

Outside  Graduation  Provides  Inspiration  for  Seniors 


A  very  different  class,  this  year's 
seniors,  moved  their  graduation  out¬ 
doors  despite  the  problem  of  getting 
chairs  from  the  inside  onto  the  track 
field.  It  was  with  a  great  amount  of 
pride  that  they  descended  the  steps  onto 
the  field,  the  boys  clad  in  blue,  the 
girls  in  white.  The  commencement  ex¬ 
ercises  represented  a  personal  triumph 
for  each  and  every  senior- -12  years  of 
books,  teachers,  and  report  cards.  The 
valedictorian  and  salutorian  speeches 
brought  tears  to  the  eyes  of  both  par¬ 
ents  and  graduates.  Very  appropriately, 
as  the  first  graduate  accepted  his  di¬ 
ploma,  the  sun  broke  through  the  clouds 
to  shine  on  the  entire  senior  class. 


1.  Debbie  Peters  and  Larry  Montgomery  are  engaged 
in  a  last-minute  discussion  before  lining  up  for  the 
processional.  2.  Curtis  Lang,  Senior  Class  president, 
presides  over  the  commencement  exercises  as  Abing¬ 
don  High  has  its  first  outdoor  graduation.  3.  Melanie 
Buchanan  expresses  her  feelings  with  a  smile  as  she 
receives  her  diploma. 


195 


1.  The  senior  class  of  1974  poses  for  their  formal 
picture.  2.  Members  of  the  band,  under  the  direc¬ 
tion  of  Mr.  Tyler,  provide  special  music  for  the 
graduation  ceremony.  3.  Lewis  Harris,  class  vale¬ 
dictorian,  gives  the  commencement  address. 


196 


1.  The  top  ten  percent  receive  greatly  de¬ 
served  recognition.  2.  Mary  Lambert,  salu- 
tatorian,  addresses  the  audience.  3.  Seniors 
find  that  the  long  hours  of  practice  have  paid 
off  as  they  proceed  with  graduation.  4.  Gail 
Johnson,  class  valedictorian,  receives  her 
diploma  from  Mr.  Brown,  who  is  assisted  by 
class  president,  Curtis  Lang. 


Seniors  Honored 
by  Superlatives 

Three  senior  speakers  reflected  on 
the  thoughts  and  feelings  of  those 
graduating- -the  days  that  hold  mem¬ 
ories,  the  days  we  live  now,  the  days 
to  come.  They  expressed  their  im¬ 
pressions  of  how  the  past  affects  the 
present  and  how  the  present  will 
directly  lead  us  to  the  future  we  create 
for  ourselves.  Their  words  echoed  the 
purpose  of  the  graduation  and  the  ex¬ 
pectations  of  facing  a  new  world.

A  Time  to  Remember 
Prosperity 

Business  played  a  big  part  in  the  prosperity  of  Abing¬ 
don.  This  year,  the  town  and  its  merchants  faced  a  new 
problem  -  the  energy  crisis.  Soon  each  person  learned  to 
handle  the  limited  supply  of  gas  and  other  disadvantages. 
The  energy  crisis,  with  its  disadvantages,  and  the  willing 
businessmen  of  Abingdon  made  1974  a  time  to  remember. 


1.  A  full  hour  shows  on  the  parking  meter.  2.  The 
energy  crisis  presents  a  new  problem  to  area  cus¬ 
tomers.  3.  Downtown  Abingdon  experiences  quiet 
hours.  4.  It's  time  to  stop  and  remember  a  year  of 
prosperity.  5.  The  historic  town  of  Abingdon  is 
active  in  many  civic  organizations.

Ten  years  from  now,  when  you  pick  up  this 
annual,  you  will  have  access  to  at  least  15 
new  electric  appliances  that  don’t  even  exist 
today! 

Electrical  innovations  will  "make  the  scene” 
(as  we  say  in  1973)  to  benefit  health,  educa¬ 
tion,  industry  and  our  social  lives.  You’ll  also 
see  in  the  next  decade  more  electronic  equip¬ 
ment  to  purify,  filter,  recycle  and  generally 
clean  up  America. 

Electricity  is  doing  a  lot  of  things  for  you 
now.  It’s  going  to  do  a  lot  more  tomorrow. 
Our  prediction:  Life  will  keep  on  getting  better 
—  electrically.
